This was lovely, I loved the story and artwork so much!
For the gameplay, I didn't find it super clear how many units I was allowed to place per turn, and interacting with the UI didn't feel super responsive, so having some more sfx/feedback to communicate that would have been helpful.
Great job overall though, this is definitely a memorable entry!
Great game! I loved that the arrows stay on the ground for a while. I also liked the small details, like the tiny archers. The art is amazing, great work!
Haha, I can't believe how much common ground our two games have. Even slingshots and mirrors! Still, they play pretty differently, I thought yours was great!
Figures there’s gonna be quite some similarities between TD games on the beach lol :D
Not adding some Final boss music is such a missed opportunity :D But one of the best games I played in this jam!
We feel so too, there are a bit of polishing and adding things to game that can be done but unfortunately we were not able to do :(.
Thank you for trying the game out and had some fun with it :D.
Best tower defense of the jam! ദ്ദി・ᴗ・)✧
I just wanna know if there's a way the defeat the invincible 🐙 now...
I enjoyed this game! I was so engaged and forgot the limitation of the jam haha.
Overall I think it was a job well done with the gameplay mechanics. The UI could be a bit better. There was still placement where the UI would hide the buildings, making you unable to upgrade it. The game also didn’t mention about upgrading at all so the tutorial could be better as well. I wish there was a sell option. The fighting sound effects is fun but I would have liked to see UI sound effects as well.
Overall still an enjoyable game, but just need a touch up in some parts.
Thank you for trying the game out, we agree with quite a few of your points. There are quite a lot of ironing out but we run out of time for polishing and fixing. As long as it’s fun to play we’re happy.
You goated with this one, the final wave is insane!
I think this is the best game overall I played this jam! The art is great, the story is really heartwarming. I only wish there was a skip intro so I could replay faster. I almost won after 3 tries :')
I really liked the art style choice. Good Job.
the story is so charming paired with the tower defense gameplay, unfortunately my defenses were defeated in the end but I guess I should have seen that coming

Very cool game. It took me so long to figure out you could level up the towers, but that's on me lol. Very funny that it took me 2 tries to beat the game cuz the boss turns immortal if you pay him.
Very fun tower defense game. I really liked the twist with the octopus guy. My only issue is that when there were a ton of enemies, the sound would just stop. Great job to the team!
Really cool game, I like how you can pop the beach balls lol.
Top tier artwork. From the cover image to the paintings to the in game sprites I like them all. Well done I enjoyed it
Really cute game! The art is lovely and it plays very well!! I was a bit lost on what to do at the start but once I figured it out it worked well! I couldn't seem to unlock higher level defenses so had to just use archers the whole time!
Oh thanks for trying the game. At the start of each wave you have to deposit money into the shop (similar to the archer tower) to unlock more towers
Some parts definitely can use a bit more polishing to make information a bit more clear so we’re sorry for the inconvenience :D.
Oh no overall it was great and really fun! It may have just been me being bad at the game haha!! (: You did a great job!
Impeccable art, great interpretation of the theme, and really impressive that you made a whole frikkin tower defense in that time!
I loved it! Once you got through the first few rounds, you can snowball insanely fast. I loved the laser inferno towers. But yeah with the synergy you got strong way way too fast, even the final (final) wave was easy to win, shame the damn guy was hacking... Is there a secret ending?
Art is very good!
Thank you for trying the game out and we’re glad that you’re enjoying it, we did put quite a bit of effort into making it cutesy :P.
That ending you got is only what we have for now and intended right from the beginning, so no secret ending for now
Nice game. I really liked the intro with KCD style font. The gameplay is catching but was not very difficult. I guess because the balloon thrower is op :) I also wish we could destroy old buildings to place new ones. But overall I really enjoyed it!
P.S Also it is possible to place buildings behind the bottom right menu but then you cannot upgrade them.
